Ford told the council that the 2020 municipal change had been adopted in response to Martin v. Boise, which limited enforcement of anti‑camping rules where no shelter beds were available. She said the June 2024 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Grants Pass v. Johnson overruled Martin v. Boise, and that the city could therefore return to the pre‑2020 prohibition against camping in public places.

Ford offered two draft ordinance tracks: one that restores the pre‑2020 language statewide and another that, in addition, would make it unlawful to use a bus stop for any purpose other than boarding, waiting for, or disembarking from a bus. The bus‑stop language includes a permissible inference that a person repeatedly at the same bus site within two instances in 24 hours and separated by more than four hours may be occupying that site for purposes other than transit use.

After discussion, the council voted to introduce by title only Ordinance No. 3293‑25, amending municipal code chapter 34 to return the city’s unlawful‑camping rules to the pre‑2020 form and to add the bus‑stop restriction language as drafted. The motion to introduce the ordinance for first reading as amended carried.

What’s next: The ordinance was introduced for first reading; additional readings or a public hearing will be scheduled consistent with the municipal code and state law. Staff noted that enforcement options and procedures will need to be coordinated with police and outreach providers if and when the ordinance is adopted.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","REDONDO BEACH CITY COUNCIL MEETING - APRIL 1, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Redondo Beach City Council on Tuesday introduced an ordinance to amend the municipal camping code to the pre‑December 2020 language following the U.S. Supreme Court’s Grants Pass v.

Jack Meyer, the city’s cultural arts manager, said “the total of the revenue, topped $1,122,000 in the last complete, fiscal year,” and laid out deferred maintenance and upgrade items staff say would both protect the building and increase rental demand. Meyer and Community Services Director Elizabeth Allis urged the council to consider a mix of capital investments, ongoing LED lighting conversions and modest fee increases.

Major deferred‑maintenance items identified by staff include re‑cushioning the auditorium seats (a phased project), replacing the facility’s uninterruptible power supply (UPS) that supports emergency egress lighting, HVAC replacement, replacement of worn carpeting, and repairs to exterior slate cladding and the entrance plaza. Meyer said a phase‑one seed of capital is available but the full scope would require additional appropriations.

Staff also recommended investments that would improve income potential: completing a transition to LED theatrical lighting, installing improved on‑stage monitoring (so renters need to bring less rented equipment), adding a motorized orchestra‑pit lift, and exploring conversion of projection and sound for limited, full‑scale motion‑picture or premiere use. The staff report asked the council to direct staff to prepare budget‑response materials (BRRs) analyzing costs and revenue impacts.

Recommendations included a planning assumption of a 3% annual user‑fee increase for three years, continued completion of the LED lighting program and prioritizing seat rehab and replacement of the UPS system for safety reasons. Staff also suggested exploring parking‑lot events, sponsorships and targeted marketing or concession strategies to grow rental income.

Council discussion focused on prioritization, revenue assumptions and options to earmark any surcharge or special fee into a dedicated capital account. Members also asked staff to return with a prioritized list of repairs and cost estimates the city could consider during the budget process.

What’s next: Staff will prepare BRRs with cost estimates, prioritized capital items and potential funding sources, and will return during the budget cycle with recommendations for which investments to sequence and how to fund them.","City staff reported the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center generated strong revenue in 2023–24 but faces roughly $3.45 million in deferred maintenance and recommended modest fee increases plus targeted capital repairs to improve marketability and safety.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6615819,"Redondo Beach staff seek council subcommittee to speed business permitting and retention",31,125000,156000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2857874-cec706d5e74b1e9a4db53031a5071d23&start=125&end=156","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2857874-cec706d5e74b1e9a4db53031a5071d23/thumbnail_125000.jpg","/articles/6615819/Redondo-Beach-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Redondo-Beach-staff-seek-council-subcommittee-to-speed-business-permitting-and-retention","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6615819-40823d7d35313ca3a6465b341a370106/orig.mp4?Expires=1771202886&Signature=WxNRcZLy6aKZzUcwtQhNMZhVmOM9EXavqXWDklL77j4jPWZbfgSYnnv3rlcVJ1zvfsNh2SwHDonzje8yNMbJPVJsjol4uAXLKkFp7011gw4sZ2iK-3zz-jXCTBj~YnYRzBmtm5yvXQkIMtkuneGmwsg2PtWMpHsUP7rzS1HaeI9U1DbdUfsQSulKb8D1q2VGue1k3eOl0GNckSfveFGwnYIrKAsOSMHBg6V3~a8RncOwr8YhnWHr4uPGnSUHnvHLq2GAz070Lz86Pyy3XQ62j11ELLT7CxgsuYaExZduUeR-nF0io8dq5WGgsjqAUQIJC6sBWPH4PuiuadtwMKu84w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff on Tuesday told the Redondo Beach City Council that a Business Concierge program launched in 2022 has improved coordination across departments and helped a string of businesses open faster, and they asked the council to appoint members to an economic development working group that will recommend further regulatory and process changes.

The Business Concierge program was created after business owners and developers reported permitting processes that were fragmented and slow. Greg Kapovich, the city’s waterfront and economic development director, said the program has worked to provide a single point of contact, to improve interdepartmental communications and to develop an online business-concierge web page and appointment scheduling so applicants know up front which permits they need.

Dave Scribe, a staff member who has worked directly with the program, described new tools and recent successes. He told council that the program has supported roughly 26 businesses since it began and has implemented kiosks at City Hall, cross-departmental tracking meetings, and an integrated permitting rollout intended to give applicants real‑time status updates. “We implemented these key initiatives to improve that user experience,” Scribe said in his update to the council.

Scribe gave three examples of when city staff intervention sped openings or preserved events: El Torito / Cal Mex Cantina, where staff helped get a missing utility meter replaced on a schedule that allowed the restaurant to open on time; a café project that had safety- and compliance-related stop-work concerns and was guided back into compliance; and a Sonesta Hotel event that required an unusually fast event‑permit turnaround.

Staff asked the council to create an economic development working group composed of city staff, business and community partners (Chamber of Commerce, Riviera Village, NRBBA and others) and to appoint two council members to a formal council subcommittee to work with that group. The proposed subcommittee would review regulations that require discretionary approvals (for example, conditional use permits), parking standards and internal procedural bottlenecks and would provide policy guidance as staff bring forward specific ordinance or process-change proposals.

Council members broadly supported the idea and discussed how to staff the subcommittee and rotate membership over time. Several council members volunteered interest in serving; the staff presentation noted that a formal appointment process and a codifying resolution would follow if the council directed staff to proceed.

A motion to receive and file the staff report carried.

What’s next: Staff will return with a formal resolution if the council wants a standing subcommittee, a proposed membership-selection process, and a detailed plan for the integrated permitting software rollout and associated budgets. Staff also said they will conduct customer‑service surveys and targeted outreach to local business associations to gather further input.","City staff reported progress on the Business Concierge program and asked the City Council to form an economic development working group and a council subcommittee to guide efforts to recruit and retain businesses and remove regulatory and process barriers.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6615805,"Council approves consent items, moves to adopt several resolutions and ordinances",264,3492000,3756000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2857874-cec706d5e74b1e9a4db53031a5071d23&start=3492&end=3756","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2857874-cec706d5e74b1e9a4db53031a5071d23/thumbnail_3492000.jpg","/articles/6615805/Redondo-Beach-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Council-approves-consent-items-moves-to-adopt-several-resolutions-and-ordinances","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6615805-2a4366884a3e336320c2430b80ebac2d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771202886&Signature=dDywLMV1fPM0BoT4Ts1lO8yv11h5~3q9a-FnTY3E0HRX7bdnHNmkjQufmINy0~koUYaN6jEbflk9b3fy67zKMv9ui891ydI7ifuBm5NOoZZGxDUnWj07IOsvEvq~FO6t8GnelSnRKfw24pSrqnv4IaCqfOYT4r2pRQ6yUR9BE6XT7vBntRsAV2821OGM2YQVOwgDxt5nEVskgxS8~VxmjN584WigNRoAXcdBsfzj7zAUeJkkEPsdGpHGrRk5X~yO6w7OH7onMbSd4opQmwYS2x6eI8u6zbFKptVImuInTCnycMPMXQXrl5wZU2uoECHInYiXBAdAxhJENa~FCHX-ag__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Redondo Beach City Council approved a number of consent‑calendar items and acted on several resolutions and ordinances during the meeting.
